Bukidnon coffee topped the country's first ever "cupping" competition held at the Cavite State University from March 1 to 4, 2017.
The Inhandig Tribal Multipurpose Cooperative (ITMPC) of Malaybalay City won this year's Kape Pilipino Green Coffee Quality Competition in the Arabica category, while Kape Maramag won in the Robusta category. Kape Maramag sources its robusta coffee from the Eraya coffee farm.
After a three-month search and a five-day of tasting almost a hundred coffee samples from all over the Philippines, the Philippine Coffee Board Inc. (PBCI), Coffee Quality Institute (CQI), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), and Agricultural Cooperative Development International and Volunteers in Overseas Cooperative Assistance (ACDI-VOCA) announced the Inhandig Tribal Multi-Purpose Cooperative (ITMPC) of Malaybalay City, in Bukidnon province, for Arabica category, and KAPE MARAMAG of Maramag, Bukidnon, in the Robusta category, as the winners of the First Green Coffee Quality Competition at the Cavite State University-Main Campus in Indang, Cavite, on March 4, 2017.
